It seems to me that modern political discourse is predominantly obstructionist in nature, almost regardless of your worldview. People innately sense that democracy under capitalism is in a death spiral and in their grief, are embracing avoidance and hypernomalisation.

… And maybe they fundamentally don’t believe in democracy?

I mean, if you have an appetite for abdicating all responsibility to democracy, your community, and human dignity. There’s plenty of institutions around, ready to tell you you’re actually a brave bastion of balance and fairness. One might say there’s an “abundance” of these sellout f*wits.

Hell yeah Dave go off 🙌 As gutless as these neutral-ass, pseudo intellectual dorks are. It’s worth reflecting on the sheer quantity of neoliberal propaganda we’re all force fed to create this degree of sanctimonious, craven capitulation to apartheid.

Accusing Trump of having no principles infers that the centre-left somehow does have principles? Yet we can see what’s happening in Gaza. So we know that they don’t! America needs a hard left turn. A socialist left turn.

Manufacturing consent for wars that should never have happened. Immiserating the working class and funnelling the dividends to an inhuman ruling class of monopolists and oligarchs. Neoliberal centrism sewed this field, Trump is the harvest.

This is all accurate. But follow this thread: Where did Trump and his ilk develop this philosophy of nihilism? They didn’t invent it. Neoliberalism has forcibly beaten it into multiple generations now. Successive governments dedicated to virtue with the absence of justice.

For many, there is no going back to cheerily making excuses for our leaders. They are not our representatives, they are our oppressors.

Glad we got justice for that and individuals were held to account. Otherwise it might happen again. Phew. 😅 Thank goodness for our representative democracy where we are routinely represented.

Lots of cunts need to wake up, we're in more trouble here than we think we are. It doesn't have to be like this. You should be angrier than you are
